AIS Fall Board Meeting -
Each year, the AIS also has a Fall Meeting. AIS business is conducted at
these meetings, and there are no garden tours. Most participants are AIS
Board members, RVPs, and other office holders. All interested AIS
members, however, are welcome and encouraged to go. AIS Board meetings
are open to all AIS members.

Other Activities -
Many AIS Sections, AIS Regions and local clubs also have garden tours,
activities and meetings that you can participate in. For
further information and details please contact your local AIS RVP or a
local club leader (see Local Iris
Societies). These people will be pleased to help you with your iris
interest and to connect you with a local iris group.
